AN attempt to save water by giving out free save-a-flush devices is proving a success.
Organiser Jackie Taylor has given out 100 free packs of crystals in Saltburn, east Cleveland, which save water by swelling up in toilet tanks.
She has ordered 100 more from Northumbrian Water and will give them away outside Saltburn Health Foods, in the town, every Saturday, from 10am to 1pm.
She said: "I think it is up to all of us to do our bit to save water. It is so simple. The crystals take around four hours to swell to the size of a brick.
"The crystals are free, but all Northumbrian Water requires is a name and address of everyone I give them to."
